I leave Austin, 6 days from now, a man open to all the change that entails, I hope.

Sonny could actually be entitled James Franco Fucks Everyone, which technically makes it the best movie ever.

Once I get to Philly, I'm spending the day hanging out with Fiona, then spending the night somewhere, then seeing Have Heart (where I'll get beat up by beefy Bostonian dudes!), then going to Delaware with Chrystina to be bored for a couple weeks.

Getting served a nice salad and some vegan chocolate cake with a raspberry on top by your best friend and his girlfriend: much better idea.

I'm going to be leaving Austin soon. Seems like a good idea to get all the unfortunate side effects of having to tell people that I'm leaving soon out of the way in favor of ACTUALLY LEAVING. Cuz it turns out that perpetually being in a state of almost-gone is not a great way to go about life.

The current plan is to quit my job on the 28th (payday), pack my gear on the 29th, get all my shit into some sort of storage, and take a bus to LA on the 30th. From there, I think I'm going to hitch hike up the west coast, eventually to Seattle. I don't want to have to hitch through west Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Too much work, not enough payoff entertainment and scenery-wise, and who the fuck wants to stand out on the on-ramp in the middle of the goddamn desert at noon?

But if you're anywhere between Austin and Seattle, in any fashion whatsoever, drop me a line. We'll hug.

Went on indefinite hiatus from school due to bad grades and no money.Bummed around Austin for a while, getting signatures for a petition and hanging out with trainhoppers.Moved from my mom's to my dad's back to my mom's and then later my mom moved out and now I live in that same house with some of her friends.Went to bartending school.Got a real job. At the Drafthouse, again.Met an amazing girl, had sorta relationship, loved.Relationship petered out because she moved home after the school year ended.Decided to move to Philadelphia, just for the heck of it.Decided it was summer. Stopped worrying about stuff.Went to Portland for a few days.Met an even more amazing girl.Went crazy for 3 weeks, started worrying about stuff again.Finally got over it a couple days ago, I hope.Saw that aforementioned amazing girl commented on my livejournal telling me to post more.Posted this.

But mostly it's just been me and John hanging out constantly, chain-smoking, playing video games, and doing weird things in the middle of the night. That, and sitting at epoch and getting high and then going home and watching movies and playing pokemon.

It's summer. I declare it. This means that if you aren't sweating like a pig, sneaking beer in places, breaking into buildings, wearing cutoff shorts, traveling randomly, or just realizing you have no cares in the world, you're doing something wrong. Get on it.

I should really post more filler on here to make this less lame. I am vacating my dad's house on short notice (because keeping your son in indentured servitude and then kicking him out when he can't definitively prove that he's working enough isn't cool) and it would be super if somebody had a place I could stay. A bed would be nice for a bit, but if you happen to have a room in need of renting, I would be interested. I'm gainfully employed and ready to rent. Hell, even if you're not in Austin, tell me. I kinda want to move.

I found out a few days go that I am no longer going to school, at least for a semester. Thus, I need to get a more permanent place to stay than my mom's. Basically I need a place with cheap rent ($400 is pushing it; the cheaper the better, and I can live in really cramped spaces) that is either near central austin or on a bus line to it. I'd prefer someplace with fun people who like to go out and do shit, but really it's all good.

And in case you didn't know but are still reading this somehow: I'm 19, I don't smoke, I don't have that much stuff, I'm vegan, I drink moderately, I'm a photographer, I'm a dorkus, and I use a bike for transportation.

Also if you live somewhere other than Austin but have free space I'm absolutely fine with moving as long as it's not to a shithole and as long as it is possible to get a job.
